If, with EXEC PGM=IEBGENER, your SORT product is used, you will see ICE or WER message prefixes (preficies?).
You want to copy an FB to a VB, with no further changes? Why? The point of variable-length records is that they are... variable in length? All yours are going to have the same length, four bytes longer than the original. Unless they had an inefficient blocking-factor originally, all you've really done is increase the overhead in processing logical records. Why do you want a VB data set with all the records the same length? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
